The chords are nice, but his voice is a pain in the ass. I wish he gave the track to Frank Ocean or something.

The autotune makes the track unlisteneable for me. The song itself is not bad, but just put some effort into the vocals next time. Constructing them from shorter takes is perfectly okay too if you really can't sing on key for more than a few phrases.

I'm kinda used to auto tune with kanye now. He's used it the last three albums. And it doesn't really distract me when i hear it on his songs. I was surprised he did this ballad type thing. KInd of like Hey Mama with Rubber Soul era Beatles influence. I feel 808's is very underrated (Especially since every other mainstream rapper copied it after it was released) so i liked this stripped down sound. I wonder if he's done with his ''dark'' songs?

A poignant little number. Reportedly, McCartney contributed keyboards and they formed a working relationship in early 2014. It would be a better song without the use of Auto-tune.

Really nice. It's poignant and sounds heartfelt. McCartney's playing is beautiful and Kanye's lyrics and vocals are delicate. I'm not a fan of auto-tune, but I always think Kanye uses it to great stylistic effect. If this is any indicator, I can't wait to hear more from Kanye and McCartney.

I imagine the holidays are very rough for Kanye. It's the reason he didn't spend it with Kim & his daughter. This song is heartbreaking & very personal. Like prince's "Another Lonely Christmas.

I can appreciate the emotion but I'm not feeling this song. I don't mind autotune so long as it isn't overcooked but here it's too prevalent.

Kanye West Releases SUPER SWEET Tribute Song To Daughter North -- "Only One" Featuring Paul McCartney

photo 245A88D600000578-0-image-a-141_1420097979804.jpg

Kanye West starts off 2015 with a song dedicated to his daughter North West. And it's going to have you in tears. Listen to "Only One" featuring Paul McCartney inside...

photo image1.png

The birth of North West has really opened up a new side of Kanye West. On perhaps his most vulnerable and loving song yet, "Only One" featuring the legendary Paul McCartney, the rapper sings (thanks Auto-tune) a lullably to/about his daughter, while paying tribute to the memory of his beloved mother Donda.

At various points in the record, it sounds like 'Ye is crying, as his voice cracks and wavers. This only adds to the song, making it sound emotionally raw.

photo 2455151600000578-0-image-a-148_1420098107205.jpg

North's mom Kim shared the track with her 27 million followers on Twitter along with a new black and white pic (atop) of Ye and Nori snapped by Inez and Vinoodh.

A great way to start off the New Year Kanye.

He makes a lot of trash. There is talent there and it makes no sense.

This current track is weak.

Possibly the worst auto tune job EVER.

He should've gotten Paul to sing it.

Kanye needs to give up the singing and stick to rapping/writing. If he wants to write singing songs, he should get someone else to sing them.

.

I dig his raps and this song COULD be good, but let's face the hard truth, this song would get 19 views on youtube if it wasn't Kanye singing it. That's how bad the performance is!

lol

Some balls for a rapper to collaborate with Sir Paul, make Paul the keyboardist, and sing into auto-tune. I also can't relate to the content.

True that! One of the greatest vocalists in music history playing backup keyboard to that mess of a vocal lol

I wonder what Paul REALLY thinks of the released track...

This song is a dedication to his daughter. Not a carefully crafted rap song, to be a contender for a grammy. rolleyes
